Having problems with your Canon Digital Cameras ?

View is like a pink negative. Picture is also like a pink negative. I tried another card, but result was the same.

Answers :

You failed to mention what model camera that you have, and it does matter in this instance. I'll assume that you have an older Canon.\015\012\015\012And if so, this sounds like it might be a defective CCD imager. If so, Canon should fix this for you for free, including free shipping both ways. This is regardless of your camera's warranty status.

I turn the camera on, the Canon image comes up along with various icons, but there is no picture in the viewer - and when I take a picture I get nothing. It's like the lens remains covered. Is this a setting that is somehow changed? I reset - but no change. I can view pictures on the card, so it's not the display. I can also view settings - just not any picture.

Card Error I have an Optimus 8.0 camera with a Kodak 2 gb memory card. I took many pictures on the card, and viewed but never download the pics...I went to take another picture and got a card error... Acts like all pictures are gone and card needs to be formatted. Is there any way I can retrieve the pics that were already on the card. I hope I haven't lost all my pictures.

Use a card reader to download your pictures to a folder you create on your desktop. Then, format the card in the camera. Next time, don't wait so long to download your pics. ...

Hey. I bought a new camera some days ago with a new Digix 4gb SDHC memory card. I went to Disney World and took normally a lot of pictures. From one moment to another, the camera gives me the message "Memory card error" and won't let me take nor view pictures. I tried removing the memory card and everything. I checked and It isn't locked or something. Also, I tried using a memory card reader on my laptop, and it says I have to format to read the card. I REALLY don't want to lose the pictures.

Hi, I forgot to insert back my memory card to my Panasonic Lumix LX3 one time and instead used its internal memory to take pictures. How can I extract those pictures to my computer? i cannot find its folder. Also, when the memory card is inserted in the camera, there are black screens that appear. But if the memory card is not inserted, the pictures taken using the internal memory can be viewed. HELP!

The image on the internal memory can be accessed only by connecting the camera directly to your computer. Assuming that you are using a Windows-based PC. If you are using Windows XP or a later Operating System, you do not need to install any driver f ...

The first thing that may be complicating things is, can your laptop read SDHC cards, or just SD cards? If the laptop is asking you to format it, then probably it's working, but be really sure, before you continue.Check the co ...

When I try to use a new card, 4mp or 8 mp, the camera display states "memory card error". My brother tried the cards in his camera and the cards DO work. Also, after downloading pictures to save on my PC, I put the card back into the camera but when I want to view the photo's some of them state "not compatible" so in essence I've lost the picture.

System Error I downloaded the pictures onto a CD from my Konica Minolta today like I always do. When I was finished I went onto the camera to delete the pictures and format the card - like I always do. (I have had this camera for right at 1 year) When I turn the switch to the "view" mode it comes up with "system error" within about 2 seconds and the whole camera turns off. If I go really fast I can delete one picture at a time. I can still take pictures and they still show up (for 2 seconds).

Same thing happend to my father's camera (memory card). Seems that deleting the pictures from the card via the computer solves the problem. Corrupt files on the card cause the camera to read system error. No corrupt files = working camera! :) ...

Hi I just bought a moultrie d65ir game camera. I got some pictures on my sd card, but when trying to view them on the pc, they are all scrambled. I tried a diferent pc and card reader but same results. My sd card is a scandisk ultra 8gb card. I can see the pics in thumbnail form but when I try to view them in full size they are all messed up.
Thanks Joe!

I'm not familiar with your camera but, if it has an adjustment for resolution, set it for the highest number of megapixels. ...

Took pictures with Panasonic DMX-FZ50 using a Lexar SD 2GB memory card. I put card into card reader in my computer to upload. It shows a JPEG thumbnail with a file # and if you place the cursor over it, it shows a file size of any where from 2mb to 4 mb like there is something there but cannot view it. I know the pics where there because I saw them in the lcd screen. My card reader wipped the picture off when I downloaded so can't see them now in camera. Is there anyway to fix these pics or some

My DSC-H9 will not display stored pictures or video. When I push the button to switch from picture taking to picture viewing it shuts off. Changed battery, memory stick, did "reboot", pulled battery for 30 seconds. Nothing made any difference. I can plug in to PC and view or pull pictures off. It's like the mode button is also a power button.

No picture I have a FinePix S2 Pro that I have had a couple years. Yesterday when I took pictures with it every picture is black when viewed on the LCD screen. The lens cap is off and I have tried several different lenses and memory cards, adjusted the ISO, tried it with and without a flash, but still the same result. I can view previously recorded pictures, so I know its not the LCD screen. Could the CCD have gone bad? Any thoughts by anyone?

My S2 is on its second out of warranty CCD, and Fuji replaced both for free, the first was due to the same dead CCD as many has had, the second was due to the CCD being defective to the point of being off center and producing photos that had a very d ...

Canon powershot A520 doesn't work in camera mode. I can look at and edit pictures in viewing mode, but switching to "camera" won't let me take pictures... in this mode it also lets me view pictures already on card, so something isn't making the switch over.

Hi!\015\012Do other buttons work? If so, the switch could be broken because it sounds it doesn't switch to the CAMERA mode, just stays at the VIEW mode.\015\012If you're not experienced in repairs, you should give it to a local repair sho ...

It will not take pictures, and gives a memory card error code. When you try to view the pictures it gives a corrupted data code, and does not save the picture.It also will not erase the pictures that we allready have on the card.

Base from the description of your problem this is a issue with your memory card , so to isolate and also to correct the problem try using first a different memory card on your camera and see if that corrects the problem. ...

Pink tinge When I shoot a picture in bright sunlight, the picture always has a pink tinge to it. I have tried putting in manual mode, and adjusting the shutter speed and the f setting but I just can't seem to to get this to stop. I have also tried to adjust the white balance. I am new at doing this and I would like any help you can give. Thank you.
All of the pictures have a very distorted color. They all have a pinkish-violet color. They look awful. I tried resetting by scrolling to the 'reset

Check the settings first, and ensure that the white balance is not wrong.A pink/purple picture means usually a problem with the camera digital sensor. ...

When I turn the camera on, the canon logo appears on the display and the red light in back above the menu button keeps blinking, but nothing happens. When I turn it on in the "taking pictures" mode or "view pictures" mode, it just hangs and acts like it has trouble reading the CF card. I've tried multiple cards and had the same problem, so I think it's the camera and not the cards. Any ideas?

Hi, I have a Pentax K-x and it usually takes great pictures but for the last past 6 months my pictures look like they covered with dust and also i have have a few spots in the left hand corner looks like I am viewing my pics through a dirty window sceen .

I have an Panasonic DMC-FX7 Lumix camera. I went to Kinkos so they could download the pictures on to a CD-rom, they tried their scan disk and it was not working. When I tried to look at the pictures in my camera I received a memory card error stating would I like to format. I did not do anything in fear of erasing valuable, precious, irreplaceable photos of my daughter, family and friends. I also tried using the memory card on my scandisk on my computer and the message received was unreadabl

I have Moultrie game camera 160 ,the problem is that most of the pictures are only black and white .....only a few are in color ! What am I doing wrong ? Also when trying to veiw my pictures on the TV screen I can't view them ,do you have to use only the Moultrie SD card or should any brand SD card be able to be used ???

The camera defaults to black and white in low light conditions, so only daylight pics will be in color. Any SD card should work fine, but you may need reader software -- check your operating manual. Bill B ...

Please help!!!
Screen is black. It looks like I have the lens
